Description Andrew Rechenberg 2011-03-25 21:19:52 UTC
Description of problem:

When trying to use the --base-on option to livecd-creator an exception is raised during the cleanup phase.

It appears that the install_root is being unmounted before the initrd is copied out of the root.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install livecd-tools
2. Build a Fedora 14 Live CD/DVD
3. Change kickstart file to add another package, or just use an old ISO that has to be updated and use the --base-on option to point to the ISO image created in step 2
4. Watch exception happen
  
Actual results:

Removing password for user root.
passwd: Success
Unmounting directory /var/tmp/imgcreate-2hgvzP/install_root
Losetup remove /dev/loop2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 156, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 137, in main

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 405, in __copy_kernel_and_initramfs
    isodir + "/isolinux/initrd" + index + ".img")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/shutil.py", line 81, in copyfile
    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/imgcreate-2hgvzP/install_root/boot/initrd-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.img'


Expected results:

A new Live CD/DVD ISO image should be created.


Additional info:

I've been trying to work on debugging the issue but haven't been successful so far.  I'll keep attempting to resolve and submit a patch, but I wanted to open the bug as I work the issue.

Comment 1 Andrew Rechenberg 2011-03-25 21:29:41 UTC
Please take this comment with a grain of salt, as I am a VERY novice python coder (and I use the term 'coder' very loosely).

Another note - it appears as if creator.configure() is either running asynchronously or is being called twice because the Traceback in the Description starts in creator.configure(), however, __instloop.cleanup has already be called and executed according to some tracing logging.info lines I added to creator.py and /usr/bin/livecd-creator

Am I missing something obvious here?

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2011-03-30 23:47:12 UTC
I can't reproduce this with f15 -- I suspect it may have something to do with the repo changing, or whatever the differences were between the kickstart files you used. Can you post them here?

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2011-03-31 00:24:49 UTC
scratch that. I did duplicate it. It looks like something is removing the initrd file during the initial iso creation. The code is supposed to copy it, not move, so I'm not sure what is removing it yet.

I need to back-port my fix for this to f14 from commit 8041f10645981473d111f9295f0d49d4a43e9327

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 22:24:49 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
